Good range time at AGC

54rndball · Jul 12, 2015

Had a great time at the Barnes range today. The kid was shooting his CZ Scout at about 10 yds. He had a good group going and one of the RSOs complimented him about it and offered a steel plate if he could do it at 100 yds. I shot about 50 rds. with my SKS at 25 yds. We only spent an hour there, but what a great time it was. Saw a few ARs and one guy had a nice HBAR, which gave me some ideas, but I could get another SKS for much less. Get a AGC membership if you like to shoot. It is a great place to shoot and you will never go back to those indoor ranges at the local gun shop after shooting outside. No comparison!

Glad to hear it. Barring the occasional problem, I find the AGC to be the best in Maryland.

Be careful about letting the kid shoot at a steel plate. Once he does, he will never want to go back to paper.

I'm glad you had a great time. The AGC has made some great strides to become the preeminent range in the mid-Atlantic. We are fixing the ranges up, focusing our staff on customer service, and we will be bringing more fun ways to shoot. We still hope to bring 5-Stand and Action Pistol and Action Shotgun events in small stages. After we get the other 200 yard berm done it would be easy to build at least 6 action shooting bays for all of the big games. It's an exciting time to be part of the AGC.

Wow, AGC might have some action shooting bays! That is great news. I thought they were content being a sight in range. Any idea on a time frame for these upgrades?

AGC is good people.

To quote RSO Alex....

"Going to range is like a mini vacation. I want to make sure everyone enjoys themselves"

Totally 100% agree, and my kids get that same special treatment.

They love going just as much as I do. And last time out, got my daughter to try one of my ARs. She said it was..... interesting.

Yep. AGC rocks.

It's great AGC is becoming more customer focused. The current survey requesting ideas from the members on how to improve AGC is a step in the right direction. If they followup and implement many of the ideas submitted, it will really take AGC to a higher level of quality and services. I can't wait to see all the new improvements they make.

I should get out next week to sight in hunting rifle/slug gun. Need to qualify for MD State certification, my usual managed hunt qualification. Haven't been selected for years. Otherwise I may go to WV to hunt.

I have recently moved to the area and need to find somewhere to shoot. I'd love to join the Stoney Creek Gun Club, but they require a sponsor and I obviously do not know anybody. Is there any membership based clubs around that offers similar facilities with open membership?

I'm looking for something with a min of 200-300 yard range, skeet/sporting clays would be nice, and most importantly good people.

Last time I got you out I'm pretty sure you had a good time. :party29:

I've been a member since 2002 and we all have been witnessing some very nice changes in attitude, construction of needed buildings/facilities, hiring of qualified staff (much of the AGC operation is done by unpaid volunteers), and a more liberal approach being taken to satisfy members who want a wider variety of shooting programs.

I've seen a huge increase in the number of women, children and minorities who participate in the shooting sports at AGC. It is the premier shooting venue in Maryland and we all need to pitch in and do our part to insure that AGC continues to improve and thrive in this antigun environment that we encounter in Maryland.

I am 75, have been involved in the shooting sports and competitive shooting for over 63 years, and I can assure you that without dedicated, persistent hard core individuals, places like AGC would not survive.

We need your financial and moral support and your ideas and your able bodies, too, in order to insure that AGC continues to thrive and continue forever.

Please come out and do your part and lend a hand to Bryant, Paul, Gary, Mike and John and the dedicated range officers and staff who keep the doors open for all of us.
